About Me
Hey there, what's up? The name's Jacob Operanta, though some people call me wolfie, I used to dislike it, but I gradually grew to like it over time.

I usually have 1001 things to say about Games, but I usually can't cause i'm always outranted by one of my best friends, so I thought, why the hell not bring it online?

I'll play almost any game really, asides the GTA series and most modern "Run and hide while you recover health with your magic regen abilities."

The games I play most are Old School First Person Shooters, RPGs and Platformers, so expect alot of reviews and ramblings based upon those.

Laters!

Way to whore out GH, Activision...
Welshbastard | 4:40 PM on 03.08.2009 17 comments


Anyone else heard about this bull?

If rumours prove true we are excepting not one, not two, not five, but EIGHT new guitar hero games within 2009 ALONE.

Here's a lovely little list of the games excepted for this year;

Guitar Hero: Metallica
Guitar Hero: Greatest Hits
Guitar Hero: Modern Hits
Guitar Hero: Van Halen
Guitar Hero 5
DJ Hero
Band Hero
Another DS game

Now what the flaming crap? Hell, I don't even expect this from Sonic, and we are getting sonic game after sonic game as of late.

I mean, back when GH first came out, it was revolutionary, it took Music based games, set them on fire, drove over them a couple of times used the ashes to form a guitar, got all the countless religions gods to bless it as thier one true child, and sold it as probably one of the most fun games ever, at the time, now? The gods have abandoned the franchise, and Activision are thinking that they are so damn awesome, that they can piss all over the fans, and expect them to still love them, I mean hell, all these damn expansions could be put on ONE GODFORSAKEN DISK. I mean damn, blue-ray has a freaking RIDUCLOUS size capicity on it, look at Metal Gear Solid 4, it is 46 GB in size! Now, I'm sure ALL those would be LESS than 46 freaking gigs. I mean, yeah admittedly, HD DVD doesn't have as much space, but it can still hold more than they are putting it on those god damn disks.


To me it seems that activision have this mindset that everyone has enough money to buy this crap without doubt.

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you are wrong.


Also, my reaction to DJ Hero.




Now excuse me while I play Rock Band: AC/DC.

...wait.

I agree... Fuck you activision.

Here is my biggest gripe. Guitar Hero 5, so that means Guitar Hero World Tour = 4. Alright fine. Band Hero? What the fuck? World Tour had the band in it, as will Guitar Hero Metallica, Greatest Hits, and presumably the other ones. So Activision is either gonna be HUGE WHORES and give you Guitar Hero 5 with the whole band and Band Hero with the whole band or take steps backwards for Guitar Hero 5 and just make it guitar again. How in THE FUCK does that make sense?

my reaction to DJ hero... oh wait, i guess that will be something like my reaction to beatmania like 12 years ago, only this time i will give 100% less of a fuck.

guitar hero was not revolutionary at all, they just made a standard, rip off rhythm game with a plastic guitar instead of a plastic turntable.

i suppose when 99% of the GH fanbase are children and idiots, you should probably expect to be treated as such.

They make this stuff.
You buy it.
So they keep making it.

You remove "1" and suddenly "1+1" doesn't equal "2" anymore.

I don't see how you can include DJ hero among the other titles.

And why are you shocked at this? We are talking about a company who refused to publish Ghostbusters and Brutal Legend because and I quote "They lack the potential to be exploited every year"

Company tries to make lots of money off a popular franchise with spins-offs, sequels, and versions on multiple formats. OMG SHOCKING.

I for one fully approve of Greatest Hits, especially since the previous covers will now be masters with full band support. The DS games are awkward as hell to play, so I'll be skipping those without a doubt. DJ Hero has been known about forever. Also, I'd bet that "Band Hero" is complete bullshit since that's what ultimately became World Tour. Metallica and Van Halen is something I'll probably get when they're dirt cheap used.

Once Guitar Hero 3 was released, I realized Guitar Hero and Rock Band are stupid. Stupid but fun.

The world would be so much happier if you focused on the good things going on, not the bad.

If you don't like the game, don't buy it. If you are complaining that it costs too much to buy every game and they should throw it all on one disc... well, I ask, do you think that's fair of the company? The company who has to pay all of its employees to produce and market these games, including the cost of the music licenses? They aren't cheap to make and videogaming is, unfortunately, an expensive hobby if you want the latest and greatest. But hey, isn't every hobby in the same boat?

It's like bitching about every godamn Britney's Dance Beat or Disney game because they are so mindlessly dumb and rush-produced just to make money off of a brand name.

But at the end of the day, do I really care? Nope. Rock Band: The Beatles for the Wii will retail at 59.99$, but I'm not going to lose sleep over it.

I am excited for DJ Hero, though, mostly because it will bring a popular light to DJing, which is awesome.

To each his own, I guess! :)

QRAZE, for the record, I distain CoD and Tony Hawks, CoD because it's always the same freaking war they are basing it on, excluding modern warfare, and I could just never get into Tony Hawks after no 1, back when I was like 8.

Unless you weren't talking to me, in which case...
